I read halfway through all of the posts and decided to get mine in here- I hope it has not been posted previously

Back in 1994 the Stanley Cup was won by the New York Rangers in the 7th game against the Vancouver Canucks. I was living in Vancouver at the time and the playoffs had riveted the entire city. Vancouver wasn't exactly known for having the most dedicated fans, there tended to be a level of complacency or even downright flakiness (not sure if it is still that way but it sure was then) but this championship playoff brought out the fan in everyone! The defeat was disappointing but it was very quickly evident that the "fans" were headed back to complacency when a banner was placed over a Highway 1 overpass the next day.

Once, in high school, a friend and I were driving past a church. The sign said, "God is still on the throne." Being the exceptionally mature 17-year-olds that we were, we dissolved into a fit of giggles. We still sometimes giggle when we pass that church.

My inner 17 year old is laughing hysterically.

Beyond a wholesome discipline, be gentle with yourself. You are a child of the universe, no less than the trees and the stars. You have a right to be here. Be cheerful, strive to be happy. -Desiderata

Yesterday at a stoplight I was behind a car with a rear window decal that read "Godspeed." It was all white except for the S, which was red and rendered almost invisible by the red brake light just above it. So it looked for all the world like "God peed."
